Twitch can save the tourney: how about they still seed teams and let them play it out online

Twitch will stream all games. Coaches will sub in players and they will play 5v5. It isn't the real thing and definitely benefits those who spend more time playing video games, but would be a way to have some semblance of a tournament and fun for players and fans.

That wouldn't do much for us old guys that didn't grow up on video games.

These guys put together a bracket and are going to play the games on Xbox later this week.

They uploaded the rosters and created the players to match the current teams.

They have USU as a #10 seed vs Penn State.

Around the 5 minute mark :
